Argh. Wait let me get my camera..

Here is the Wheel Swap of my CLS. They are BBS LM Black.

I hope Beem3r will like the M5 now.

salilpawar1 · 20th June 2008, 21:10

The rear wheel isn't looking good. Front ones are OK. Will it be possible to fabricate some kind of spacers?

Cyrus43 · 20th June 2008, 22:23

If you look closely at the older pics, you will notice that even the original ones wer a little inside. But i will put a spacer there.

I like your PM..real smart!!

Cyrus43 · 20th June 2008, 23:01

I am posting this on behalf of a friend. If anyone remembers the 599 i had posted, this is the same guy who owns that too.

Jada Toys 1:18 Mach 5 from Speed racer.

S2!!! · 21st June 2008, 22:47

hey cyrus43 the pics look great and ya the beamer which you painted in matte black does look really hot. and i do agree that you do need spacers for your cls as even the previous wheels were not as much inside as these ones. Nevertheless great job bro! cheers:

Cyrus43 · 22nd June 2008, 14:55

Thank you S2. I will be doing the spacer job as and when i get time. But it should be done in the next two days or so!!

I have the same Bugatti 1:18 scale from Bburago.
I am posting some pics of two interesting plastic kits . The Tamiya, British SAS Willys MB WW2 1:35 in Weathered Desert Camo (lot of effort with paints and clear) and
an Italeri Willys MB with Trailer 1:35. which I assembled a couple of years ago.

BEEM3R · 22nd June 2008, 18:10

Hey great paintjob Dussey. I can imagine the amount of effort gone into those Jeeps. But looks worth your while though.

@Cyrus43: The M5 looks great now

Good job. The matt paintjob is killer. Do some BMW roundels though.
